palate is wine-centric, passionate, and down-to-earth. palate is a restaurant, a wine merchant, a cheese cellar, a tasting bar and lounge, and an eno-gastronomic library occupying the ground floor of a seven-story Bekins moving depot (circa 1928) turned wine-storage vault. palate is a vibrant gathering place in an inspiring setting designed to nurture a sense of community among lovers of delicious food and great wine and the farmers and wine producers so instrumental to the art of eating—and drinking. Created by chef + principal Octavio Becerra w/ partner wine director Steve Goldun, and general manager Ako Denis, palate is where food, wine and people meet.
What and how we eat and drink is intimately connected to a profound sense of place. At palate, we invite you to journey with us. We invite you to imbibe, to pass the time, to savor. Our unique collection of interconnected culinary resources produces a synergy that allows you to nourish your sensation of taste, encounter a new terroir, and explore and broaden your palette. At palate, we encourage you to expand your knowledge of the flavors you love by simply tasting. The bounty of palate is not just in our superlative kitchen and the wine we make accessible via exceedingly reasonable prices, but in the hospitality that is our ethos.
